re: Is it really an improvement if you try to eliminate whole classes of people instead? like the kulaks? well, actually I think that was Lenin's doing.... re: By "resettling entire nations in Siberia," I was curious what you meant by killing whole nations. re: The scorched earth defense referred to burning the crops to deprive the Germans of food, I think you are mistaken here. Partizans were very ruthless toward civilian population that did not cooperate but not to that degree... re: Only the Germans killed in such an organized fashion, keeping records of 11 million one-way railroad tickets. you are talking about concentration camps, I think. But what about places like Babiy Yar where german soldiers were continuously killing Jews and Communists for days. Where many were buried while still alive. They say that heard sounds from under the ground for over a week. The different sources put the number of dead there between 50,000 and 300,000, no one really knows. And as you can see from the article with very conservative estimates 40,000 children were executed there. ukrainaemb.se and while Babiy yar is most famous it is not the only place like that. Stalin, at least, did not execute children
